BWISET

just when i managed to get out of bed earlier than my usual "late", the world conspires against me. i think i can get past the part where i stood in line for the shuttle for almost 30mins, but what really pissed me off was that wise-assed cab driver.

i usually get off amorsolo when im running late so i can take a cab straight to the office instead of going around makati in the shuttle. and thats exactly what i did this morning. i told the cab where i was going and said he can pass either buendia or cross ayala through makati med --- both routes i regularly take. manong said ihe just came from buendia and traffic was bad there, so i assumed we'd take the makati med route. BUT NO! he took me to ayala, then to makati ave pa! we had to pass through so many stoplights! i was so pissed (because i was late already and he chose a longer way) that i told him im not going to pay him more than what i usually pay for when i catch a cab from amorsolo. BWISET TALAGA.

wish granted (and some random babbling)

i was surprised to realize im starting to get my wish... work is steadily pouring in... it feels great to be more useful again. haha. parang na-miss ko ang work-stress. pahinga naman sa life-stress. hahahaha. so far, i welcome this. let's see how long it will stay that way. :p

here come the random babbles...

mukha daw akong "good girl"... good girl nga ba ako? i guess it depends on your definition of a "good girl".

i feel like i have so much hair on my head... its been feeling "heavy" the past few days. maybe ill get a short haircut next. :p

wide awake

ive been having trouble sleeping and i know why. coz the thing that i prevent myself from thinking of during the day by distracting myself with work, comes crawling back into my head to haunt me all night. hay. ive tried those calming teas... still awake. sleeping aids... takes a while to fall asleep still. tring to relax my mind... EFFORT talaga.

well, tonight is another night. i hope i fall asleep early. i cant be coming to work late anymore.

gone too soon

early morning january 1 while i was familiarizing myself with the new channel assignments on sky cable, i happily discovered we had discovery travel and living!!!

too bad its on preview only until january 8. hay. it sucks pa that our house isnt covered by the digital service of sky... so even if im willing to pay for the upgrade, we cant get it.

seasons of love

ironic that the first song i hear on my ipod for 2008 was this one from rent... made me think how i would measure my year... how was my 2007?

in retrospect....

- a lot of travelling... batangas, bangkok, baguio, bohol, vigan-baguio, etc. mabuhay ang mga tao with "itchy feet". hahahaha.

- definitely exciting as far as my personal life is concerned. haha. quarterly cycles are a definite improvement. ang bilis ko na maka-get over ha... in fairness!

- a LOT of sleepless nights... mga pahamak kasi e. hahaha.

- work-wise it was okay. it was a really fast year for us at the office... which is good!

- ive been substantially happier this year for several great reasons. all of which i remain thankful for.

- got seriously sick a couple of times.. around feb i got a respiratory track infection, fainted inexplicably around march, and a few dizzy and vomiting spells in june and october. hahaha.

- i shouldnt forget my client-arranged blind date. hahaha. in hind sight, that was a fun few dates. i took another one for the team!

- got in touch with a lot of old and fond friends throughout the year. fun, fun, fun.

- i got to know myself a lot more this year. a lot of time spent by myself, and thinking. :) especially during my major life decision moments.

- OH! i must not forget my glorietta 2 experience. how can i forget that day?

dont get me wrong, i ran into bumps and crater-sized potholes throughout the year.. really tough times, but even as i think about them now and recall how hard those times were, i can still smile and say i had a good 2007. not quite great, but still really good.
